We secured an artist this year to provide us with some nice artwork for the holidays. It will be wholesome, it will be cute, it will be everything you ever wanted. At least for this month. Patreon makes it happen. So if you want to throw a few shekels our way to make these things happen more often, please do so.

So what to do to get involved? Sign up or login to your account – upper left side – and you will have a free vote for one option below. The poll ends on christmas and the winning option will be drawn by the artist in the following days.

I know from experience, some people have issues when registering new accounts, make sure to use the “forgot password” option, even if you get no confirmation mail… you should get one after that.

As for the topic, we are going with Christmas Presents. Naughty or Nice. Do note that naughty in this context doesn’t necessarily mean lewd.

Get to it. Every vote counts.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

PumpkinDukeXD) Case closed→]]>So after my last newsentry the whole thing with PumpkinDukeXD blew up. I could write a novel about everything but instead let me give you a simple rundown.

PumpkinDukeXD eventually had enough stories removed and worked from an empty account that he got ballsy again. He created the account TheDefilerXD and started uploading the 4 stories that we could not source anywhere (so they might actually have been his only original works) to the TheDefilerXD account. He did speak to his other account as if this was between 2 different people, only it was too darn obvious what he pulled.

So TheDefilerXD went live with Dukes old shit. In the meantime the Safnar123 account got completely and fully nuked (also run by PumpkinDukeXD) which got him to shut up for 2 days.

Ze taunts, zey do nassing!

After nothing happened, PumpkinDukeXD started taunting us and put another stolen work online on his Duke account… and also uploaded 3 new stolen works to the TheDefilerXD account. The best part about the taunt is, that just 3 hours after his private message to me, his main account PumpkinDukeXD got hiroshimad from Wattpad.

Karma with a sidedish of kick to the nuts

Our main course of action was to engage the asshole as little as possible. Comments or Private Messages were stopped by me and others so as to not tip him off and pull incriminating stories from his account and leave them open to further DMCA strikes, which were successful.

Still he didn’t give up. Tenacious bugger if I’ve ever seen one. However:

small excerpt from the database – small on purpose

I don’t expect anyone to read that actually but the moron left fingerprints all over TFT. He made an account and he used a static IP address which made it ridiculously easy to monitor and observe and screenshot everything he did. TheDefilerXD couldn’t even fart without me knowing it.

Over the next days a clear pattern would emerge. He would look up stuff on TFT, I would screenshot his IP address actually checking out the story… and it went up stolen on Wattpad just hours later, like clockwork. I had evidence of his actions in real time. Hook line and sinker.

Since he always used the same static IP and hardware, I simply followed the IP back to the registered owner, which was a school district in Kansas. I had hit the motherlode.

While this was going on, TheDefilerXD started leaving more comments in the PumpkinDuke newspost further down, read it up at your own leisure, one of the highlights was that he actually openly confirmed that TheDefilerXD is PumpkinDukeXD, so we went from a highly likely theory to a hard confirmation. Much highfiving was had.

So we had an underage teenie using a MacBook provided by his school to connect to monstergirl pornsites via the school network and then commit literally over a hundred cases of copyright infringement.

So… I did the only reasonable thing. I wrote an official mail to the Superintendent. The Super replied to me within a few hours and forwarded me to the IT Network specialist in the school with the Vice President of the district and the Legal Counsel in copy.

They asked for evidence. I provided evidence. Boy, did I provide a fuckton of evidence.

2 days later, I get a reply from the IT guy. Apparently there was a nice discussion with the student and the parent, and I received thanks for helping them fix that security hole. Also the student will be prevented from pursuing his extra activities from the school ever again.

This one goes out to you guys who ever had to deal with one of those little kids that fucked your mom over the internet.

If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past week, you probably heard of that horrid thing the EU Parliament passed, Article 11 and Article 13. In a nutshell these things will spell doom for the european internet.

Article 13 in particular wants to stop sharing of copyrighted content, much like the PumpkinDukeXD/TheDefilerXD case we had to deal with. Technically okay, but practically what has been decided is the equivalent of taking a sledgehammer and smashing everything into submission.

What is going to happen is that all sites and internet providers will be forced to filter all uploaded content. This is flat out impossible to do with human oversight, so there will be algorithms and content filters that will deal with this. And how well automated content filters work is something we can see on YouTube. Even original content on YouTube gets regularly screwed over, blocked, demonetized and so on and so forth. I read about a curious case where one guy even had 10 hours of white noise flagged as copyright violation. In comes Nintendo or Sony or all the fat Media Giants that will stomp fan material or fair use snippets or just legit content into submission.

Well screw that.

The reason why I am talking about this is, TFT is currently hosted in the EU. On the slightest notice that things start going south, I will transfer the whole website to a different continent. I have already checked and made sure that it is possible to do so.

Now with the copyright crap I had to deal with from that one plagiarizing teenager to relocating the whole website, I frankly need some support. If shit hits the fan, I would vastly prefer having just a tiny bit more funds to counter the worst shit, like a warchest.

Plagiarism? Hire a lawyer. Artists getting ripped off? Fund their shit. Server under heavy fire? Give a no fucks and buy a new server.

If you like this site and you want to support what I do and you want to support monstergirls, if you can spare 2$ on our Patreon, it will help a lot. Every dollar is a step further to being independent from the rest of the world being shit.

Congratulations to all the participants! The results are in and I will be contacting the winners via Discord. Votes were given by 4 Judges on a scale of 1-5 points, judging was purely subjective as this was supposed to be a fun contest.

Roughly 3 days time to hand in your submission. End will be around monday night, US time, to be specified in the sidebar with a countdown timer later.

Submissions do not have to be anonymous, but please make sure they are publicly available at the end of the event. An excellent way to write greentext and hand in submissions is via pastebin.com, you can open an account for free there and make sure to put the greentext as “unlisted” so it will not appear beforehand, then switch to public once the event is over.

The theme of this event is Monty Pythons Quest for the Holy Grail. It does not have to be a direct spin on what is happening in the movie, but it should at least be in the same setting. For those of you that were unfortunate enough in their lives to have never witnessed proper british humor, the whole movie is actually available on Youtube:https://youtu.be/9D5_V72jMtM
Please watch the movie and familiarize yourself with it.

Of course there should be monstergirls in there.

Profanity is a clear fuck yes.

There is no limit on the length, but I absolutely do not require a full novel written. A good greentext can be a single page and it can be memorable.

All entries will be judged over the next week and the winners announced the next weekend. Judging is going to be done by multiple judges but it will be purely subjective, so simply give it your best shot.

First place will win an up to 10 euros Steam purchase, second and third respectively will be eligible for a 5 euro Steam purchase each.

Submissions may be entered via direct message in Discord to me (SnowDrakE) or if you cannot use Discord for any reason, use the Contact page to leave your entry, make sure to use a working email and a link to your story. If I cannot get in touch with an author after recieving the submission, you may get excluded from the winning prizes. I strongly recommend using Discord.

Godspeed you beautiful bastards.

And just so he won’t remove my comment or his post again, here please have some screenshots I made from the page:

his postmy answer

My theory is that he feels like he can keep on going forever as long as he does not get officially banned. The only time I have spoken to him was 2 days ago where I told him that I will post the news about him as below and will continue reporting him for any stolen content he uploads and also file legal DMCA strikes until his account gets banned. I do not believe that this counts as coming to an “agreement”.

The next weeks are going to be interesting! Any bets on how long my comment on the link will stay up? Please check for yourself.

UPDATE:

Roughly 60 minutes. He took the whole thing down. URL in screenshot for your convenience. I am faintly amused.

This user had a massive list of stolen works published under his own name from multiple authors all over, most notably from the MGE Wiki, some from Pastebin and even literotica.

A massive quantity of the stolen works have been taken down by Duke, yet he continues stealing without remorse.

I am just mildly annoyed that I cannot display the whole extent of what he did at once, but I am sure I can give a good enough impression of what has occurred:

At the height of his act, PumpkinDukeXD had 3 works on Wattpad, containing multiple substories.

Suffice to say this is one busy man. The best part is that after he got confronted by that, he claimed to have asked the authors he stole from if he gave credit (which he didnt) without knowing that these are very active people on the Discord and were reporting him for theft of intellectual property.

2. Four chapters stolen from user Safnar on the MGE Wiki, funnily not to be mistaken for the Safnar123 user account on Wattpad that seems to collaborate with him very closely like a sockpuppet account under the name Mamono Invasion.

I have a multitude of other screenshots but I believe that would make this article a bit too long. If you want to see more, please hop on the Discord and ask me.

We have contacted the Wiki and multiple other communities including Reddit and Monster Girl Unlimited to check all content PumpkinDukeXD uploads and to report any stolen works. Multiple reports have been filed already.

If you have published anything in the past, please go on his page and check his Wattpad releases if they do contain your stuff and make sure to take action against this. Anyone who would like me to negotiate with Wattpad on a legal basis may contact me on Discord or leave a comment below and I will get in touch with you.
